Hairless Cats – Pet tip 145
For many, just the thought of a hairless cat is enough to make them shudder. For these people, the sight of a hairless cat is shocking, and touching one is downright scary. If you are one of these people, then this article is unlikely to sway you in the other direction. However, if you are the kind of person who has always been a little bit intrigued by the unique look of hairless cats, read on. Behind their striking appearance is a fascinating background, and if you are considering making a hairless cat part of your family, there is also a plethora of information to know about the proper way to care for these beautiful creatures.
Congenital hairlessness in cats is an extremely rare trait. Essentially, a hairless cat is the result of genetic mutations in one or more of the genes which encode for normal hair development. While the word ‘mutation’ implies that this genetic condition is unwanted and accidental, there are actually many breeders who select specifically for the hairlessness trait and work to maintain the hairless lineage in their cats.

I love to snuggle under the blanket with my mom. I don't like to play very much but when I do WATCH OUT. When I was a baby, I loved to try to eat the bubbles when mom was having a bath. I don't do that anymore, since I fell in the water and mom laughed. I have 2 brothers (Shadow and Puck) and one sister (Pounce). I am the shy one in the family and usually stay clear of strangers. Mom has a catnip plant on the window that I like to chew on and then I just laze around. My favorite places to sleep are in boxes and under blankets that I pretend are caves. There is no life like a cats life!
